25 Delicious Gluten-Free Foods and Snacks to Try This Year

Just because you're cutting out gluten from your diet doesn't mean you should have to sacrifice flavor. In fact, there are plenty of satisfying, nutritious, and delicious gluten-free food options currently on the market, from cookies to crackers to oatmeal and everything in between. Plus, with about 1 in 100 Americans diagnosed with Celiac disease (an autoimmune disorder characterized by a severe gluten allergy), it's more important now than ever before to be mindful of serious food allergies and dietary restrictions. Luckily, there are tons of great gluten-free foods on the market. We recommend the below!

We've seen lots of beef jerky brands recently introduce healthier meat sticks or bars, but not all are as tasty as these free-range turkey jerky snack sticks from CHOMPS. Gluten-free, low in fat, and packed with 10 grams of protein, these convenient jerky sticks keep us full on the fly.

Another tasty gluten-free snack for those with a sweet tooth, we love these crunchy cookies by health food brand Enjoy Life. This variety pack includes chocolate chip, vanilla honey graham, double chocolate, and sugar crisp mini cookies.

A smart gluten-free substitute for salty potato chips or calorie-loaded snacks, these baked crisps feature green peas as the first ingredient, and they're an excellent source of fiber and protein. We love the subtle zesty heat of the wasabi ranch flavor.

Gluten-free, packed with up to 17 grams of whole-food protein, and absolutely delicious, these Perfect Bars are almost too perfect to be true. We love the superfood-loaded ingredient list that includes good-for-you healthy fruits, veggies, seeds, and heart-healthy oils. Pop a pack in the fridge for a healthy gluten-free snack.

These crunchy roasted chickpeas from Biena come in fun and savory flavors like Rockin' Ranch, and they're loaded with 5 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber. Plus, they have 78% less fat than peanuts.

Do your waistline a favor: Toss out those cheese crackers drenched in saturated fat and pick up a box of these wholesome gluten-free Simple Mills crackers instead. They're made with simple, whole ingredients like almond flour, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds, and they come in yummy flavors, including Farmhouse Cheddar and Fine Ground Sea Salt.

Packed with a respectable 10 grams of plant-based protein, this savory Roasted Jalapeño Sweet and Spicy Bar has just the right amount of heat, and it's our go-to gluten-free snack bar for road trips or hiking.

Founded by a husband-and-wife duo, Julie's Real granolas and nut butters are grain-free, gluten-free, Paleo, soy-free, and made with wholesome non-GMO ingredients. We had a hard time picking our favorite variety, but the Cacao Coconut — packed with almonds, pecans, cacao nibs, unrefined coconut oil, and ground vanilla beans — slays in both texture and taste.

With 25 grams of protein, 13 grams of fiber, and nearly half the net carbs of traditional pasta, this best-selling chickpea-based pasta from Banza is a gluten-free no-brainer. We especially love subbing in these shells for wheat-based pasta in classic mac-and-cheese recipes.

Made with quinoa, this rice pasta with white cheddar mac and cheese from Annie's has a bit of a cult following due to its similarity in taste to traditional wheat-based pasta options — but made with much-better-for-you (and gluten-free!) ingredients.

Chewy, spicy, and with just enough sweetness, we love the texture and taste of these Ginger Zinger Cookies from New York-based Tate's Bake Shop. Plus, this product is ideal for families with food allergies or restrictions, as the recipe is gluten-free.

Pulses — or the seeds of dry crops like beans, chickpeas, and lentils —have been popping up in many recipes as a gluten-free substitute to traditional wheat-based flours. These Hippeas Organic Chickpea Puffs are one of the tastiest examples of this trend, and they come in fun flavors like Far Out Fajita (our personal favorite).

With a revolutionary collection of bean-based pastas, Explore Cuisine provides healthier alternatives to regular white flour noodles. We especially love the firm texture and slightly nutty taste of the Organic Black Bean Spaghetti. Did we mention that each serving is packed with a whopping 25 grams of protein?

Made from free-range, pasture-raised turkey, naturally sweetened with pineapple juice and honey, and packed with 7 grams of protein, these gluten-free turkey sticks make a wholesome pre- or post-workout snack. We can't get enough of this savory and slightly tangy cilantro lime flavor.

Nutrient-dense beets are packed with nitrates, fiber, and potassium, and incorporating this superfood into your diet got a lot easier thanks to Rhythm Superfoods. These dehydrated crunchy beet chips are gluten-free and make the perfect healthy snack to keep at your desk.

Dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, and gluten-free, these allergy-friendly sweet treats from Katz are highly reviewed for both their yummy taste and fluffy texture, unlike some other gluten-free treats that don't taste quite as good when re-heated.

These genius snacking lupini beans are rich in protein and fiber, and they're also super low-calorie and gluten-free. With fun, individually packed satchels and even more fun flavors to choose from, we think these beans will quickly become your new go-to snack.

At only 44 calories per serving, these gluten-free biscuits are packed with whole-grain oats and made without any artificial colors or flavors. The stem ginger flavor packs just the right amount of spice — perfect for winter snacking.
